Although the deep Southern sound was being defined in the ’70s by the musical forces of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, a sophisticated scene was budding a hundred miles north in the industrial metropolis of Birmingham. Although this breezy side by Jerry Weaver is not included, The Birmingham Sound: The Soul of Neal Hemphill captures this industrious producer in decade-enduring hit mode.
